Abstract
At the beginning of the 20th century, Italian immigrants began coming to America in ever-increasing numbers. For more than 100 years, they have been one of the most "visible" ethnic groups in this country and have firmly planted their seal of ethnicity in everything from their food to their intellectual achievements. Like all other ethnic groups, they have enriched the culture of America and contributed substantially to the diversity we know and love.

Abstract
Examines and contrasts two different perspectives. David Miller's argument that national cutlure must be protected, even at the expense of individual liberities. John Stuart Mills' philosophy that the principle of freedom and individuality should prevail. Issue involved is regulation that Canadian broadcasters must restrict amount of foreign programs.

From the Paper
"In their respective works, John Stuart Mills and David Miller offer contrasting perspectives on this issue of content restrictions on Canadian television. Mills? work, On Liberty, celebrates the principle of freedom and individuality. On the other hand, Miller's work, On Nationality, highlights the importance of protecting national culture, even at the expense of individual liberties.

Abstract
This is a paper that analyzes and contrasts the style and technique of the poet William Blake and the artist Edouard Manet. The author compares between the styles of Blake?s poem London which portrays traditional societal values and Manet?s painting "Luncheon on the Grass", which breaks all traditional thoughts and ideas, in an attempt to contrast their artistic intentions.

From the Paper
"Blake's poetry is a masterpiece. The poem under discussion is one of his finest poems wherein he talks about young children on the streets of London, his town. He talks of these children in a slightly amused, slightly chiding manner. The poem has three stanzas, each containing two rhymed couplets. The lines are longer than is typical for Blake's Songs, and their extension suggests the train of children processing toward the cathedral, or the flowing river to which they are explicitly compared. The form of expression is unique as Blake narrates in another's voice. He says the children are actually angels of God and speaks of them grandiosely as singing like the 'mighty wind' and 'harmonious thundering."
